For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:8ESV
Another important part of spiritual reflection is examining our spiritual practices. Make a list of your daily, weekly and seasonal rhythms. For instance, hiking, church, reading or being with friends and family. Reflect on which of these brought you energy and joy. Next, take a moment and consider which practices you may want to take away, add or replace given your previous reflection and season of life. Perhaps you feel stressed with your homework load every week, so you commit to spending 10 minutes of your morning in silence and solitude.
Whatever your life looks like right now, having spiritual practices in place can ensure we’re growing in our areas of weakness and being transformed to better reflect Christ.
If you’re interested in learning more about spiritual practices, consider adding a Spiritual Formation and Discipleship minor to your Theology degree or attend GCU’s spiritual formation workshops.
